Twin packs
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:13 pm
For some reason, plenty of Mr Kipling slices are packaged such that a packet of six slices are split into three 'twin pack' subcontainers. This means that it is quite awkward if you only want to eat one. Firstly, because of the nature of the twin pack packaging, you cannot 'slide it out' like you can with a regular packet of this kind, thus mostly sealing the cakes in their original plastic sleeve. Secondly (and more importantly), the twin pack clearly implies that you should be eating two of them, even though the portion mentioned on the box is only one slice. How can you leave half a twin pack uneaten? It's untidy at best.
Why do they do this? Is it to encourage you to be a fatty and eat more of the product (and at the same time overlook how small an individual slice actually is)? Is it to encourage you to share them with your friends? Is it just to highlight that you don't have any friends, you loser, why don't you eat some more cake, at least cake is your friend?
